What does omnipotent mean?

God has limited power
God has unlimited goodness and love
God has unlimited power
God is present everywhere

The correct answer is: God has unlimited power

The term "omnipotent" specifically refers to the idea of having unlimited power or authority. In the context of theology, particularly in discussions about the nature of God, omnipotence means that God has the capability to do anything that is logically possible and does not contradict His nature. This concept emphasizes the boundless nature of God's power, suggesting that He is not constrained by limitations that affect created beings. The other options, while relating to attributes of God, do not accurately define omnipotence. The notion of God having limited power contradicts the definition of omnipotence. Similarly, unlimited goodness and love pertain more to God's moral attributes and character rather than His power. Finally, being present everywhere describes the attribute of omnipresence, which is separate from the concept of omnipotence. Thus, the definition of omnipotent as having unlimited power is indeed correct.
